Title: Improvements in Stockings and the like.
Inventor: CHRISTENSEN HUEGO THEODOR
Filed: 1908-12-21
Granted: 1909-02-04
Abstract: 27,749. Christensen, H. T. Dec. 21. Stockings and socks are made without the usual heel-shaped portion, and of such formation that by any longitudinal section through the stocking from the point of the toe a to its upper edge b, a figure shown in outline by the curve ac is obtained symmetrical relatively to the axis ab. At the heel portion, the stocking is slightly bulged, and below is slightly contracted, being thereafter of a uniform but slightly increased section, and being finished off at the toe with an even curve. Above the bulged portion, the stocking is at first. contracted, and thereafter its section uniformly increases along the entire length of the stocking. By this construction, the wear at the heel may be evenly distributed by turning the stocking round. Coloured threads may be knitted or woven into the stocking to indicate how it has been worn.

Abstract: 4858. Lange, P. Feb. 27. Percussive drills; percussive hand tools.-Relates to a mechanically-operated hammer drill, shown as a hand drill, having means for removing debris and means for preventing breakage should the drill become jammed. The spindle 2 of a suitable fast-rotating motor 1 drives, through an intermediate spindle 4, an internally - toothed cam 6, which acts through a roller 18 to raise the hammer 11. The roller 18 is mounted on ball bearings 15, 16, one of which is fixed and the other adjustable by a screw 17. A spring 20 returns the hammer, and a second spring 21 acts as a buffer. The spindle 4 has a single-toothed pinion 27 arranged to turn a toothed sleeve 25 through one tooth when the hammer is raised. This rotation is communicated through a friction clutch 33 held in engagement by a spring 34 to an internal sleeve 30 and thence to the tool 31. When the tool jams, the friction clutch prevents any breakage. A cap 35 prevents the drill 31 from falling out, and carries a rotatably mounted ring 37. Water or air supplied through the branch 40 passes from the ring 37 through a pipe 45 to the drill to remove debris. A pipe 51 in a holder 50 forms a handle for the tool. In a modification, the spindle 2 drives an horizontal shaft through bevel-gearing, a vertical cam on the shaft actuating the hammer, and bevel-gear on the shaft driving the spindle 4.

Title: Ribbon Feeding Mechanism for Typewriters.
Inventor: FAIRWEATHER WALLACE
IPC: B41J35/00
Filed: 1909-05-11
Granted: 1909-11-11
Abstract: 11,157. Fairweather, W., [Emerson Typewriter Co.]. May 11. Ink-ribbon mechanism; ribbon-key actions; keylocks; sheet-guiding arrangements ; carriage scales.-Two-colour inkribbon mechanism is described in connexion with a typewriter comprising a framework 7, 9, 11, 12, in which are mounted key-levers 14 operating horizontally-swinging type-levers 20. (1) A universal bar 22, swung forwardly at each key depression, carries an arm 24 connected with a linkbar 26, 27, 28, a pin 29 upon which engages a pivoted arm bearing a pawl 40 adapted to rotate a ratchet-wheel 39 on a shaft 38. Bevel-pinions 41 on this shaft alternatively engage bevelpinions 42 on vertical shafts 43, which are mounted in posts 47 integral with the frame top 8. The shaft 38 extends beyond the sides of the frame, and is moved lengthways to reverse the direction of feed of the ribbon. A spring catch 45 is adapted to engage either of two slots 44 in the shaft, but yields when the shaft is displaced. Collars 48, secured by set-screws to the shafts 43, are provided with a number of spring prongs 49 which enter and clasp the hubs of the ribbon spools 51. (2) The ribbon passes through a vibrator comprising arms 55 provided with front upper and lower prongs 60, 61 and rear prongs 59, 62 ; it is introduced between the front and rear prongs through the space between the upper and lower prongs 60, 61. The lower end of the vibrator 55 is bent to afford a sleeve 57 for attachment by a pin to a lift-plate 64, which is formed with ears for pivotal attachment to the frame at 69, 72. A side arm of the lift-plate is slotted to receive a finger 74 on a key-lever 75, to which is pivoted a rod 77 carrying a key 78 on a socket-sleeve 79. A notch 80 in this sleeve and a catch-plate 81 serve to lock the keylever in its depressed position. When the key is depressed, a stop 76 on the lever 75 raises the liftplate 64 and brings a rod 84 supported in ears thereon, against the under face of a shoulder 35 on the link-bar 27, thus bringing the lower colour of the ribbon opposite the printing-point. Subsequent depression of the ordinary key-levers does not lift the vibrator. Normally however, when the key 78 is not depressed, a cam 32 on the linkbar lifts the vibrator at each key depression and brings the upper colour of the ribbon into printing position. The link-bar is pulled rearwardly by a spring 85 attached to an arm 86 forming part of the carriage-feed mechanism. (3) Behind the vibrator 55 is a spring guard-plate 88, which is slotted to permit the type to strike, has side arms 90 for pressing the paper against the platen, and is cut away at its centre to provide a pointer 92 for co-operation with the carriage scale.

Inventor: AUMANN AUGUST
IPC: C12C11/00
Filed: 1910-01-17
Granted: 1910-10-06
Abstract: 1224. Aumann, A. Jan. 17. Producing circulation in a liquid by gas pressure.-An apparatus for producing continuous circulation of a fermenting or other liquid in a vessel A, comprises a glass cylinder F which is fitted over the bung - hole and is alternately filled with liquid, forced into it by the pressure of gas produced by fermentation or other gas, and discharged into the lower portion of the cask. A pipe C passing loosely through the bung C' dips into the fermenting liquid and communicates at the top with the interior of the cylinder F. The upper end of the cylinder is fitted with a casing x comprising two valves M<1>, M<2> operated by stops q on a shaft p which is rocked by a weighted arm s engaged by projections h, i on a weighted arm k carried by a spindle g which is rocked by movements of a float rod G. The valve M' opens communication through a pipe N and cock D' with the gas space L in the cask, and the valve M<2> with the atmosphere or a gas-collecting apparatus. In operation, the valve M' being closed, the pressure of the gas collecting in the space L forces the fermenting liquid into the cylinder F until the float H strikes a stop d on the float rod G. The rod is raised and rocks the spindles g, p, opening the valve M<1> and closing the valve M<2>. The gas from the cask passes through the pipe N into the cylinder F and forces the liquid through a pipe O and a non-return valve into the bottom of the cask. The float H in its fall contacts with a stop d<1> on the valve-rod, causing the rod G to fall and closing the valve M' and opening the valve M<2>. If desired, air, oxygen, or carbon dioxide under pressure may be passed into the gas space L through a cock attached to the bung C<1>. To prevent solid material in the fermenting liquid from either settling to the bottom or forming a layer on the surface of the liquid, perforated plates are fitted into the fermenting vessel a slight distance above the bottom and also below the level of the liquid. The apparatus may be used for fermenting a mixture of ground fruit, sugar, and water, or a mash containing coarselyground malt and hops, and for ageing and blending wines, spirits, liqueurs, &c.

[Cognate Application, 14,009/10.] Telephone apparatus; coin action, mechanicalconnexion and multiple-coin. - In a coin or token actuated telephone calling-apparatus, a normally open drawer completes the exchange connexion when pushed in, and is retained closed by a catch which is released by the replacement of the receiver or by a current sent from the exchange. In the form shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the drawer b is hinged at c, and is provided with receptacles for coins f, which close contacts g, h in the exchange circuit. The drawer b slides on a ball race e, and its extension d is connected by a pair of links p to a guided balance weight o, which normally keeps the drawer open. The drawer is retained closed by a catch i, which engages a depression in the drawer and is released by a lever system operated by the switch hook. Pivoted catches l on the armature of the magnet v prevent the return of the coin unless this magnet is energized by the exchange operator. The Provisional Specification states that the drawer may be released by an electro-magnet in circuit with a contact on the switch hook instead of by the above-mentioned lever system. In a modification in which the release is effected by a current from the exchange, the releasing- magnet is unpolarized, and is arranged in circuit with the coin-returning magnet and the magnet of a call-recording register, these two magnets being oppositely polarized. The operator then sends a positive or negative current according as the call is effective or non-effective.
